Shownotes

In today’s episode, I’m talking about one intentional breath and why it was MY first step toward emotional healing. Back in October 2020, life felt like pure chaos. The ranch workload was heavier than ever, and I didn’t realize the toll it was taking on me until things finally slowed down. 

That’s when the anxiety, chest tightness, and overwhelm hit HARD. Out of desperation, I tried one deep, intentional breath (a big inhale and a long, slow exhale), and to my surprise, the tension began to release! 

That tiny act showed me I could actually shift how I felt right there in the moment. Taking one intentional breath can be calming, healing, and transformational. I’d love to hear if you try this in your everyday life, and how you feel afterward!

In this episode, I cover:

  • What led me to discover intentional breathing as a first step toward healing
  • Why our breath is the one area we CAN control + why this matters
  • How intentional breathing affects the nervous system & other parts of the body
  • Long-term benefits of practicing breathwork regularly
  • Simple moments when you can pause and use intentional breathing
  • Some easy breathing tools & exercises you can try right away
